GARY POLICE PUT CENSORSHIP ON SONGS Cabaret Classics Under Ban By Edict Against Spice "Her name is 1.11, She's a sister of Buffalo Bin: She's a good old scout and I love her still. But tough, dog gone." As the vaudeville managers say. that song is out of the act from now on. Under the Gary police censorship the familiar lyrics or "Frankic and Johnny" "Tho Hardy Mountaineers," and certain other anthems that uasement choristerswarble to the early morning pew holders of the shady cabarets, are barred. The toughness of Buffalo Bill's sistei can no longer be recounted t" appreciative auditors wun the noisy accompaniment of piano, drums and saxophone. For aught the cabaret patron will know in the future, Buffalo Bill's sister wa; as Caesar's wife, or as unapproachabb as the Queen of England was to tin American tourist watching the ruja. carriage pass. CABAKXTS HIT HARD The Bucket of Blood, the Bleeding Heart and the Dead Rat are the cabarets hit hardest by the new edict. Following close on the heels of the twciv o'clock closing order it adds insult P injury, the cabaret proprietors clare They didn't mind putting aprons on their entertainers and making waitresses of them, but to have the favorit hymns suppressed borders on persecution, they would say if they spoke enough English. Next to the musical life history ol Bulfalo Bill's sister, the love tragi d of Frankie and J. b.nny and the booming chorus of the Hardy Mountaineers were the favorite folk soiifcis of the Night Bird. Frankie and Johnny is Shakespearean tragedy. a dirge and a The mournfui cr.- of Frankie: "For be was my man and I loved him sv. ' tells tho story r.f a great love. A ROMANTIC MTJBDXB The motif of the tabloid opera is introduced with the opening lines: "Frankio and Johnny were lovers." Following which, the plot begins. Ii is an old story but well teld. Frank:finds that another has won the love ..: Johnny. And so she starts out to e liminate competition, "t-.iating a 44-ealibn gun." Impulsively she bumps off Johnny and there are fifteen verses devoted to her regrets. The Hardy Jlmmia-.n-'-rs Is a Wagnerian chorus demanding heavy bass voices with perhaps a whisky tenor.

IN THE CITY COURT The case against Bay Darmofaski. 239 153th place, was nolle pressed in the Hammond city court this m .ruing, as the evidence tended to provhis innocence. He was charged with stealing a bicycle, but produced w itnesses who testified that they s-aw him pick it -up from the street. He evidently had no intention of theft. Robert F. Long, 35 IS .Sixty-Fir: street. Chicago, was fined $13 for speeding, after he pleaded rot guilty and attempted to pass the lie to th. officer who arrested him. Ho admitted to going 25 miles per hour, which was sufficient for a fine. Aberhani D. Cecial, 56D3 Lafiyette avenue, Chicago, pleaded guilty to be-in-g disorderly and paid a fine of $6.
